Hi there,
I have a problem where a USB audio device sometimes uses the soundcard slot
0 when connected during startup.
This happens only from time to time with no obvious indication why it boots
up differently.
I have set up /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf like this:
****************************************************************************

#autoloader aliases
install sound-slot-0 /sbin/modprobe snd-card-0
install sound-slot-1 /sbin/modprobe snd-card-1

Does anybody have an idea why the USB keyboard still takes over the sound
card slot 0 and keeps the sound-card from showing up?
I just took a look at /sbin/. "modprobe" links to /bin/kmod.
Are there any other setup files for the sound cards other than
/etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf?
When I edit and store alsa-base.conf in the console it tells me [MAC-Format]
by default.
Should this be set to [DOS-Format] in order to be readable?
Any help or ideas are appreciated!
Thanks!
Ingo
